Rockefeller Not Upset by Hippies at Rotary Talk
Winthrop Rockefeller, Arkansas governor, said he is not upset by hippies or draft card burners, calling them a small fraction of Americans.

He spoke at a Cleveland Rotary Club meeting and planned to visit later by plane, weather forcing a car trip after a Clyde Guy plane leg and a tire blowout.
